nigelhicks Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 ya dude just keep looking - remember there is a long time now till next season ... so you have time to plan your assault
nigelhicks Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 heres a good deal! ... not the greatest bike (they weigh a ton) but great for starting out! https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/30575-raleigh-rdh90-downhill-bike-price-drop/
Johan Bornman Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Why not phone the local Marzocchi agent up and ask him/her for the price of this part? Who says it is R3k?

Grebel Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 heres a good deal! ... not the greatest bike (they weigh a ton) but great for starting out! http://www.thehubsa....ike-price-drop/ Buy the parts and put them onto something like this: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/30441-morewood-izimu-all-parts-in-pics/ That would push me up to R10k. Might as well look at this: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/31942-morewood-downhill-bike-shova-lt/ Time to start selling!!
nigelhicks Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Why not phone the local Marzocchi agent up and ask him/her for the price of this part? Who says it is R3k? I am going on a price i got for the "equivalent" part for a rock shox boxxer lower a couple of weeks ago, luckily for me Patches was kind enough to donate an old fork he had lying around to my KZN "village DH" bike cause.
nigelhicks Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 ya ... i would say dont look at swopping stuff immediately as it would cost you cash - rather buy a DH bike that you know will last you a season or 2 as a start off bike ... once you into it ... sell it and then upgrade the entire bike for something in the region of 10k ...

Thanks. I guess I just need to get through next weekend first....
nigelhicks Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 ya ... look ... if GeeCee and those characters can do DH on their Teocalis so can you ... you have already ridden the Giba track so you are sorted ... the Enduro will be a piece of piss now that you have ridden the DH track ... Just ride ... have fun and then take it from there. Grebel 1

Just ride ... have fun and then take it from there. For sure. Bit of a difference in gradient between Ricos/Comleys and Giba though...
nigelhicks Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 only the finish section ... and thats as steep as the chute at Ricos ... (the chute is harder as its tighter and there is less room for error)
Grebel Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 only the finish section ... and thats as steep as the chute at Ricos ... (the chute is harder as its tighter and there is less room for error) Faaark. That seemed steep yesterday. Than again I rode the chute at Rico's on a GT Fury.... I see the problem
